The UEFA Champions League is Europe's most prestigious club football competition. Founded in 1955, it was previously named the European Champion Clubs' Cup. The competition brings together the top 32 football clubs in Europe in a year-long competition. 4 days ago The second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 wraps up Wednesday when Lionel Messi and Barcelona host Lyon, while Liverpool travels to Germany to face Bayern Munich. Both games begin at.
Kovac brought on Kingsley Coman for Franck Ribery, whose potential final Champions League game ended quietly, as the nervousness continued. Bayern continued to play out of the back, but Liverpool slowly started to win the ball back faster and faster. Mo Salah fizzed an effort that Neuer awkwardly punched clear.

Liverpool found space in behind Rafinha time and again, but couldn't turn it into a chance. Bayern were passive, but knowing they needed a goal to advance eventually worked an opening. Again it was Gnabry down the wing, and again it was Lewandowski who was the target but the low cross was just beyond the Pole. As the final 20 minutes approached, Bayern hearts were broken. Virgil van Dijk beat Hummels in the air to power in a header from a corner, leaving the hosts needing two goals. Kovac reacted, bringing on Leon Goretzka for Javi Martinez but Bayern limped towards the end.
Klopp's side, still full of running, found the energy for another - Mane heading in after a perfect cross from Salah. For Bayern and Kovac, the disappointment will have to be short lived as they look to secure a domestic double in the absence of European glory. For the Bundesliga, bigger questions will be asked because, for the first time in 13 years, there is not a German team in the Champions League quarterfinals. Fans wait outside the Allianz Stadium for Bayern Munich vs. Liverpool 20:17 - Almost unbelievably, the last time these two European behemoths met (first leg aside) in this competition and its forerunner the European Cup, was in the 1980/81 season.
Liverpool won that one on away goals before winning the trophy. Will history repeat itself? 20:11 - Klopp speaks. The Liverpool boss expects it to be a game of fine margins. “Who will take their chances, who will get it right.
That’s what counts tonight,” he said to Sky Germany just now. 'Tonight is about getting into a good rhythm.
The pitch is quite big and wide. We’ll definitely have our chances.” 20:06 - We're seeing the first pictures of the tracksuited players, headphones clamped over ears, arrive at theh stadium, where a fair few people have already taken their seats. It has been snowing in Munich but it's a bit brighter today and it looks like the rain will stay away.
20:00 - Klopp has taken a bit of a gamble omitting Fabingo in my eyes. The Brazilian had a shaky start to his Anfield career but has been impressive over the last few months. But Milner, despite the doubters, has often impressed on the big stage and is one of the most reliable players around. No Naby Keita for Liverpool, who picked up a knock a few days ago. 19:54 - Bayern Munich name team. The answer to those questions I posed at 19:42 are - Ribery and Hummels are preferred to Coman and Boateng as Kovac opts for experience in what's sure to be a high pressure evening. Manuel Neuer makes his 100th Champions League appearance between the sticks and it's a Spanish-speaking central midfield with James Rodriguez joining Thiago and Javi Martinez.
Bayern Munich take on Liverpool in Champions League clash News 18:45 - Hello, and welcome to the big one. After Borussia Dortmund and Schalke emerged from their Premier League encounters battered, bruised and out of the Champions League, Bayern Munich try to ensure a German participant in the quarterfinal draw on Friday. Bayern were in big trouble when this one was drawn but have hit form at just the right time, returning to the top of the Bundesliga this weekend after a 6-0 win over Wolfsburg. Liverpool haven't been in quite such strong form as Schalke's conquerors Manchester City have overhauled them in the Premier League.
Niko Kovac kept thing tight in the first leg at Anfield and, though it was the sort of performance they needed, Bayern were a little fortunate to come away with a 0-0. But than can be a dangerous result, given the away goals rule.
